The mastermind behind the scenes starting with the calamity of all races

"So, the Prison King's lineage is the true number one power in all the heavens and myriad realms?"

Yun Jie nodded. "If nothing unexpected happens, yes, the Prison King's lineage certainly deserves that title. Therefore, if we want to deal with them, we must rely on external forces!"

After Yun Jie finished speaking, Su Yu, Zhou Tianqi and the others' eyes lit up, as if they had thought of something.

Su Yu thought for a moment and asked, "Does Senior mean to use the power of all races to deal with the Prison King's lineage?"

“That’s right,” Yun Jie nodded with a smile. “If we’re talking about a single clan, then the Prison King lineage is definitely number one in all realms. No other clan can rival them.”

Yun Jie chuckled mischievously, “But the Myriad Races are not a single race. They are numerous and powerful. If they join forces, the Prison King lineage will definitely be no match for the Myriad Races. However, the Prison King lineage is still very strong. Once the two sides clash, it will inevitably result in a mutually destructive situation.”

The crowd's eyes grew brighter, and Wen Yi didn't need to explain anything further. Once the myriad races and the Prison King's lineage were both severely weakened, it would be their turn to reap the benefits.

However, everything is based on one condition: they cannot be exposed.

Once they are exposed, the situation will likely change drastically. The original duopoly will suddenly become a three-way standoff, making it impossible for either side to make any rash moves, lest the last one benefit.

Of course, it is also possible that two of them join forces to deal with one of them.

As the saying goes, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.

On the battlefield, it is always the weak who unite to fight against the strong.

Of course, things aren't always so absolute; there are always some people who don't play by the rules, but let's leave that aside for now.

······

Let's get back to the present.

"The idea is good, but how do we actually implement it?"

After some thought, everyone agreed with the idea, but it was easier said than done, and ultimately, action had to be taken.

"So shouldn't we brainstorm ideas now?" Yun Jie said calmly.

Everyone fell into deep thought, pondering a course of action.

At this moment, Yun Jie said again, "I have an idea, you can listen to it."

Everyone looked over and began to listen intently.

"The method is actually very simple: lure."

"Right now, aren't the various races speculating that a mysterious force has either rescued or captured Marquis Dingjun? It's hard to say about other forces for the time being, but if the Demon Clan discovers Marquis Dingjun's whereabouts, do you think they will give chase?"

Everyone nodded. "That's for sure. With two Dao Integration Realm cultivators fallen, the Demon Clan must be furious. If they discover Marquis Dingjun at this time, they certainly won't let him go."

"Senior Wenyi means to use Marquis Dingjun as bait, then lure the demons to the depths of Chaos Mountain, and finally expose the hidden lineage of the Prison King?"

No one present was a fool; they immediately understood Yun Jie's meaning, and so they all turned to look at Marquis Dingjun.

At this moment, Marquis Dingjun's face turned green.

What do these people mean? They're using him as bait to lure the enemy deep into Chaos Mountain. How can he possibly come back alive?

"Although I don't know if this method will succeed, I think it's worth a try. Senior Dingjunhou, then I'll have to trouble you." Lan Tian said to Dingjunhou with a smile.

Marquis Dingjun's expression changed drastically. It's that freak again!

He then cast a pleading look at the Great Zhou King. It wasn't that he couldn't die; he was willing to die for the sake of humanity. But he had only known these people for a short time, and they were already asking him to act as bait and die. He was certainly unwilling.

Besides, this bait plan sounds so crude and doesn't seem very reliable.

Seeing that Marquis Dingjun remained silent, Lan Tian continued, "Why isn't Senior Marquis Dingjun speaking? Putting everything else aside, we saved your life and the lives of your men. Now it's your turn to contribute. What, you're unwilling?"

Marquis Dingjun continued to cast a pleading look at King Zhou. Zhou Tianqi remained silent for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty, the luring plan is good, but I think there are still a few issues that need to be resolved."

Su Yu nodded calmly, "Tell me about it."

"First, how do we get the demons to chase us relentlessly into the depths of Chaos Mountain? What if they stop chasing us once they reach the outer perimeter?"

"Secondly, what if the Prison King's lineage can command the Chaos Beasts to kill or stop the pursuers outside Chaos Mountain?"

"Third," Zhou Tianqi paused and glanced at Dingjun Hou, "How will Dingjun Hou escape in the end? He is, after all, a third-class Dao Integration cultivator. It would be out of Yu Huang's style to die before the war even begins."

Yes, that's not in line with Su Yu's style. Since his debut, he has won almost every battle. Not only has no one fallen, but he and his followers have also greatly increased in strength. It has to be said that this is a miracle.

It was this point that made Zhou Tianqi realize the difference between Su Yu and the Hundred Battles King. The former killed a thousand enemies and his strength increased instead of decreasing, becoming stronger with each battle; the latter killed eight hundred enemies but lost a thousand of his own, ultimately leading to his defeat and death.

The difference between the two seems obvious at a glance.

Therefore, Su Yu is the Emperor of the Universe, an emperor, while Bai Zhan is merely the King of a Hundred Battles, a king.

After listening, everyone fell into deep thought once again.

Over there, Marquis Dingjun cast a grateful glance at Zhou Tianqi. Although the first two points Zhou Tianqi mentioned were concerns about the plan's failure, the last point at least mentioned him.

We can use him as bait, but we can't let him go to his death for nothing. We need to perfect the plan first.

Of course, Yun Jie didn't mean to immediately send Dingjun Hou out as bait. There were indeed some problems that needed to be solved, but who told Lan Tian to cause trouble for no reason?

after awhile.

Su Yu nodded and said, "The King of Great Zhou's concerns are not without merit. Besides, this is not without precedent. Let's think about it some more."

The precedent Su Yu mentioned was the Marquis of Anbei, a powerful human from over three thousand years ago.

Back then, Marquis Anbei led his men into Chaos Mountain and hid there for over a hundred years. The place they are in now is the very place where Marquis Anbei and his men hid back then.

During this period, the myriad races repeatedly besieged and attacked Marquis Anbei and his party. In the end, Marquis Anbei launched a counterattack before his death, which triggered a riot of the Chaos Ancient Beasts, resulting in the death of seven Dao Integration Realm cultivators from the myriad races. The losses were extremely heavy, to the point that the myriad races dared not easily set foot in Chaos Mountain again.

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, twice shy.

Faced with the humans who fled into Chaos Mountain, the other races preferred to choose a safer approach: encirclement. Even if it would take longer, compared to their lives, a little time was nothing; they had an incredibly long lifespan.

Unless absolutely necessary, they would not easily set foot on Chaos Mountain.

PS:

I was planning to continue my outburst today, but something unexpected happened last night...

Last night, my cat suddenly vomited twice in the middle of the night. I got up twice to clean up the mess, because I was worried that something was wrong with her. I couldn't sleep well at all, and then I got up early to take her to the vet. I was so tired...

Chapter 459 Target Confirmed [Donations Requested!]

······

In the blink of an eye, seven days have passed.

Over the course of seven days, the group did not only discuss matters; Su Yu, Wen Yi, Lan Tian, ​​Zhou Tianqi, and others were analyzing the power of chaos.

The emergence of a brand-new power system aroused their curiosity. Of course, the main ones were Su Yu and Lan Tian, ​​while Wen Yi and Zhou Tianqi were just assistants. They had already come into contact with the power of chaos, so they weren't curious about it.

Furthermore, if they want to impersonate the lineage of the Prison King, they must master the power of chaos, even if it's fake, it must be so convincing that all races cannot tell the difference.

As for September and Devouring King, they were sleeping on the side. There was nothing they could do. They couldn't understand Su Yu's discussion at all, and they couldn't easily go out. So, what else could they do besides sleep?

However, not everyone stayed here. Xia Longwu, Zhu Tianfang, Xia Wudi, Wang Hu, Kongkong, Changhe, Hu Xiansheng, and others below the Dao Integration Realm had quietly left Chaos Mountain.

Kongkong and Changhe returned to their respective clans in the upper realm, while Xia Wudi and the others went out to gain experience.

They are not children; each of them has their own methods. They don't need to follow Su Yu and the others all day long, otherwise there would be no point in them following along.

The enemies were all dealt with by Su Yu and the others who had reached the Dao Integration stage, leaving those who were Eternal or even Non-Eternal to just watch from the sidelines, which did not help their strength at all.

Moreover, if they followed Su Yu and the others, the enemies they encountered were almost all at the Dao Integration level or above, so they wouldn't have a chance to make a move. It would be better for them to go out and train on their own.

So, after Yun Jie created a shielding array for each of them, they left Chaos Mountain.

However, Su Yu also required them to return once every ten days or so, firstly to let them know they were safe, and secondly to prevent them from not being able to find him when they returned to the lower realm.

As for the shielding array, it's quite simple. Yun Jie made it much easier and faster than Zhu Dizhu because he drew it.

It didn't matter that he hadn't mastered the art of array formations; he had the art of drawing. He could copy and draw. Following the array formations left by the lineage of the Prison King, Yun Jie quickly drew them.

Of course, some other things were also used in this process. First of all, Yun Jie did not use ink or the power of rules when he drew the picture, but the blood of the Chaos Ancient Beast. He used the blood as ink and then added certain parts of the ancient beast's body, such as teeth and bones, as the core. In this way, the shielding array was drawn simply.

The methods Yun Jie displayed immediately amazed Zhu Dizhu, who never imagined that the art of painting could be used as a method of formation!

That's just outrageous!

Yun Jie simply smiled at this, not taking it to heart.

Are you kidding me? Are his strokes ordinary strokes? It's like King Wen's brushstrokes—are those proper brushstrokes? It wouldn't be surprising if you called them arrow strokes.

Besides, he's a master of array formations. He just copied a lousy array formation. It's nothing special.

······

"Phew, finally done!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of chaotic power appeared on the fingertips of Su Yu and Lan Tian respectively.

Zhou Tianqi frowned slightly, "Your chaotic power is still somewhat inferior to true chaotic power."

Su Yu smiled and said, "It's alright, this is enough."

Yes, that's enough for people to impersonate the Prison King's lineage.

None of the myriad races possessed the power of chaos. With their limited understanding of chaos, they had no way of distinguishing between the genuine and the counterfeit. In their eyes, they were all just the power of chaos.

"Emperor Yu, what about Marquis Shadow..."

The group had just finished their research when Marquis Dingjun spoke impatiently.

"Ignore him for now. We can't expose ourselves yet. Before the Prison King's lineage and the myriad races start fighting, the deeper we hide, the better. That way, they will have no scruples."

Su Yu directly refused Dingjun Hou's offer. He was willing to meet Anying Hou, but they were unsure whether Anying Hou had betrayed them. If Anying Hou was a member of the Prison King's lineage, they would be unable to hide it anymore. Therefore, it was better not to meet him.

"But... he seems to have something urgent to say," Marquis Dingjun added, unwilling to give up.

"Then let him keep worrying." Su Yu's attitude remained firm, unmoved by Dingjun Hou's words.

After glancing around, Su Yu asked, "How much time has passed? Has Senior Wen Yi not returned yet?"

September said in a muffled voice, "It's been three days since you, Emperor Yu, last regained consciousness. Senior Wen Yi left three days ago and hasn't returned yet..."

"I am back."

Before September could finish speaking, Yun Jie's voice rang out from outside the cave entrance.

Yun Jie strode in, a smile on his face, as if he had some good news.

"Senior Wenyi."
